Australian pair Steve Smith and Ellyse Perry have headlined the ICC's Cricketer of the Decade Awards, with Smith named the Test player of the decade, while Perry was crowned the best women's player of the decade.
While Smith was named the Men's Test Cricketer of the Decade, he was edged out by Indian captain Virat Kohli as the Male Cricketer of the Decade, with Kohli taking out the Sir Garfield Sobers Aawrd. The Australia superstar scored a stupendous 7042 runs at an average of 64.60 in the qualifying period, slamming 26 centuries. Kohli was the only player to score more Test centuries than Smith in the decade, with the Indian skipper notching 27 Test tons.
Fair enough based on his stats as opposed to his character
